Bolt.new with any LLM, you need to use it

The Situation

Developing agile and efficient projects using cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) is becoming increasingly essential. Tools like Bolt.new have made this process easier by offering powerful features for rapid prototyping and brainstorming.


The Problem

While Bolt.new is incredibly useful, its cost can be prohibitive, especially when managing multiple projects. This limits accessibility, making it challenging for independent developers and small teams to fully leverage its capabilities.


The Solution

I discovered that the core of Bolt.new is open source! Here's why this is a game-changer:

  1. You can run the tool locally and use your own API keys for models like Anthropic.
  2. There’s an alternative repository, now called Bolt.DIY, hosted on the GitHub by Stackblitz Labs, previously known as "Bolt.new any LLM." This version enables:
    • Integration with any LLM, including OpenAI, Grok, and Anthropic.
    • Exporting chat data.
    • Using Git repositories.
    • Running local AI models with LMStudio or Ollama.

This approach not only reduces costs but also provides more flexibility and control over your development environment.
